Michelle Price, chief executive of AustCyber, also said that as Australia plays a more assertive role in global affairs, it will be targeted more frequently by foreign-government-backed hackers. The recent hack of Parliament and the major political parties was an example of this.A similar view was expressed by cyber security specialist Mike Sentonas of the firm CrowdStrike, which gained fame as one of the first companies to identify Russian hackers as responsible for the 2016 US election hack.
“We are improving in our maturity, but when it comes to the cyber health of organisations – whether they be a public entity or a private entity - we’re still a little bit behind compared to the economies of the UK, of the US. Most of the European nations are more advanced than us.” Ms Price said her assessment of Australia as a target had come from “thousands of conversations” with cyber security specialists in this country and overseas.
Ms Price also said that as Australia exerted itself more on global strategic issues – as it had done over the past decade – it would become more of a cyber target. Events of the past few weeks were “an example of it”.
